kubernetes-operator

Use when building a Kubernetes Operator — custom controllers that reconcile CRD state. Triggers on "build an operator", "CRD design", "reconcile loop", "controller-runtime", "kubebuilder", "operator-sdk", "metacontroller", "KOPF", "operator capability levels", or "custom resource". Ships CRD validator, reconcile-loop linter, and OperatorHub capability auditor (all stdlib Python), 4 references on the operator pattern + CRD design + reconcile patterns + tooling landscape, and a /operator-audit slash command. NOT a generic k8s skill — specifically the Operator pattern.
